Hey! We are Orlaith, Erin and Mikaela. We successfully campaigned for free sanitary product provision @ our own club, Celtic. Now, our goal is for other teams to follow Celtic’s example and get #OnTheBall ⚽💥 pic.twitter.com/qQtykDw2x0

The trio set up On The Ball this summer, which they hope will empower other football fans to fight period poverty.

“One of the most important things for us is this remains fan-led. We want to keep this grassroots,” McKinley told Big Issue.

“We wanted to give female fans of all ages a platform for activism, because so often it can be male faced. It’s really empowering knowing we did it and we’re helping other women do the same,” Slaven added.

Since launching, there are now 13 clubs in the UK who have signed up to the initiative, including their own club Celtic, and McKinley hopes that following Brighton’s lead, more Premier League clubs will come on board.

“I think it takes us back to the role football clubs have a part in the community beyond football,” McKinley said.

“A lot of smaller clubs were quick to come on board because they’re perhaps a bit more in tune with what their fanbase wants. But in terms of visibility it’s great to have a Premier League club on board,” she added.

And the move by Brighton has certainly gone down well on social media.
